  • Back to Back to Basics

    After all too long a delay, I have finally managed to put my ‘web design’ site back online… I’m admitting right now the site is basic, the content is off the cuff, and I fully intend to do more with it later. However, the site has been offline for months and I have more than…

  • Serious Cereal

    I have a problem with the morning… I enjoy it too much when I have the chance to read the overnight news, catch up on forums, sip coffee and chew toast/cereal. I’m not so keen on the bit that involves running around, getting showered and changed, then forging off into the dark/cold towards work (through…

  • Harder, Faster

    Using QTC (quantum tunnelling composite) in the buttons for lifts and pedestrian crossings could finally lead to rewards for those insistent individuals who push again and again in the hope that the lights might change faster or the lift might arrive quicker.

  • Beggars Can’t Be Choosers

    An adventure ‘snippet’ for Maelstrom RPG. Synopsis: Beggars find something of value, but need to get back to civilisation to make anything from it.

The outline was also posted to the Dr Who: Adventures in Time & Space message board. The time travellers find themselves aboard a medical frigate completing a courier run to the Maia system. The…

  • Doubt

  • What the Dickens?

    Like Wilf in the most recent series, I appreciate the prospect of a good companion-that-never-was in the form of Charles Dickens. Dickens combines curiosity with a sharp intellect, perception with a entirely understandable interest in self-preservation. Throughout ‘The Unquiet Dead’ – verging on a bottle episode once matters have settled on the encounters within the…

  • Can You Smell Chips?

    If you needed to mine for plot seeds to fuel your Doctor Who: Adventures in Time and Space scenarios, what better place to start than ‘The End of the World’? Seems to me the guest list alone makes for an interesting well of possibility. How about learning more about Cheem and how they evolved as…

  • Return to Rose

    It’s a weird old world sometimes. You watch something and really have your doubts; but, returning to it later, you find you view the whole thing in another light. I watched ‘Rose’ this morning, the first Christopher Eccleston story and the introduction of The Doctor to a whole new generation. The story combines elements to…
